I work mostly on Porsche 944 both Turbo and Non Turbo. B5 (97-01) Audi A4/S4 BiTurbo. Actually just finished Timing belt on A 2001 S4 I only asked about locking The Phasers out as it is something Ive read about, Its all in the name of learning about the Truck and its inner workings, There is only so much one can learn from the Service manual... I love to play with engines, I love horsepower. I came across The Comp Cams kit when I was looking at What cams were available for the 5.4. Crower even has a specific grind for Supercharger/Nitrous usage... My ultimate goal for this truck is a good reliable daily driver/parts chaser ..... I dont think thats too much to ask of a vehicle (especially this one), as there has to be a reason why The F150 is the best selling truck....
